Camping de Olite

We nearly didn't camp here because of bad reviews, which having stopped a night we now consider to be unfair. Although a little tired facilities are clean and adequate for short stays. There are six separate lockable shower rooms with sink and toilet for campers, which felt a bit odd and could be mildly inconvenient. However, there is a larger sanitary block a short walk away with toilet shower and dishwashing facilities. The location of the site offering an off road walk or cycle to Olite was good. We liked being trusted to park our camper, without the strict direction often experienced on UK sites and everyone parked or pitched sensibly. Our biggest problem was the continuous wind which noone had control over

If I could’ve given no stars I would have!! Hubby and I booked this as an overnight stop, on our way down to southern Spain. We checked in and we’re given directions to the pitches and a key for our own private loo and shower. As we drove through the camp, I can only describe it as a shanty town! Scruffy little chalets, many looked so rundown and when we reached the field where we were to pitch, it was like a mud bath! The path to drive on it was all churned up, by big lorries or similar, so we avoided that as we were towing our caravan, and cut across the grass. We pulled up and looked around in dismay. Anyway we thought it’s only one night, let’s make the best of it. So we got hooked up with leccy, liked for tap to fill the barrel, the only taps were above a round sink, not suitable for filling barrel as it would not fit in the gap between tap and sink. So we had no running water in our van, had to make do with filling the kettle and water bottles to use. Hubby decided he wanted a shower, unlocked the cubicle with key provided, to find the floor was a mud bath! Not even cleaned for us to use. I think if we hadn’t already travelled for over six hours, we would’ve left there and then. The facilities, if you can call them that, we’re the worst we’ve ever come across. Good knows what it’s like in sumner at full capacity. It was also the most expensive site of our travels. I have nothing good to say about it whatsoever. It’s a dump!!
